The latter they declared would exclude morn aliens thnn the Johnson bill, 300,000 being estimatod as the maximum numbvr of admissions in the first twelve month of Senate measure's existence, Admission of relatives and dependents, all-thoriied by the House measure, they said, would more than equal the number of all entries under the Senato bill. Another difference between the two bills was pointed to in the provisions for determining what classes of immigrants would be admitted. The House voted to treat nil nationalities alike. The apparent disposition in the Senate as indicated in the bill reported today is to legislate only against European im migrants. In this connection, Senator Colt, of Rhode chairman of the committee, described the bill as "one of temporary use only and Intended to apply to European countries." Stastitics, he said, showed that nin'ty per cent of all immigrants come rrflm Europe.

Floor leaders expressed doubt thnt the 'bill would pass at the present ses sion because of the congested cendltion of the Senate calendar.

BOUCHER IS DISMISSED BY PRESIDENTS ORDER i Lancaster, Pai, Feb. 10. Miss- Virginia Mackay-Smith, daughter of the late Bishop Alexander Mackay-Smith, of the- Protestant Kpiscopal Diocese of and Captain, Karl Boy-Kd, former German naval attache at Washington, were married today in Berlin. 1 A cablegram this effect was received from the bride's mother by close friends of the Mnekay-Smith family in this city, as published by the Lancaster Intelligencer. Miss Mackay-Smith, wjth her mother, left their home in Washington, last month for Germany, but nothing wns said of the approaching wedding at the time.

The wedding marks the culmination of a romance which hns aroused the interest of two continents. Miss Mac- kay-mith (and Oaplain H0vKd havel been reported "engaged ft number of times during the last few years, but each time it whs denied. The first report was circulated shortly before Captain Boy-Kd and Captain Von Papen were recalled from Washington by the German government in Hecemlver, at the request of President Wilson. The two officers were with having been connected munition plots and the sending of supplies 'German raiders from American ports as well as plots with Mexico. Captain was reported' to have returned to this country in disguise in March.

1917, and to have visited Miss Mackay-Smith at her home in Philadelphia. This, however, was denied by the young woman and her mother characterized the eport as "ridiculous." Agents of the Department of Justice maintained a constant wajch at the Mackay-Smith home, but nothing w.s discovered to substantiate the report Bov-Ed was there or even in the Country. Miss Mackay-Smith first met CapUm Boy-Ed in 1912. Suit of His Publicity Agent Which Is Lost Reveals Some Interesting Inside Fact On Case Boston, Feb. 10.

Mr.

McAvoy testified there was no doubt of the fact that Bergdoll got the gold from the Treasury. In expressing unbounded belief that no high officials of the War Department had beep corrupted, ho said it was equally positive that the draft dodger had not escaped through political influence. Most of the district, attorneys testimony related to many circumstances Inner bd-ii revealed in connection with the story of Bergdoll.
